Capítulo 1722: Chapter 1722: What Play Is This
The person approaching was tall and fair in complexion; Su Yunjin recognized him at a glance. This man was not a stranger; she had seen him before by the side of Prince Chu.
From his deanor, Su Yunjin could tell that this man’s status by the prince’s side was anything but ordinary. The servants of Prince Chu treated him with utmost respect, as if he was half a master himself.
Soone who enjoys such treatnt beside the prince must be either a most trusted aide or a close confidant. After sizing up the man, Su Yunjin smirked secretly. Haha! Another confidant sent her way—was a new trick about to unfold?
The spearman glanced at the newcor, a flicker of surprise crossed before disdain resettled on his face, clearly unconcerned. “What are you doing here? Don’t think that just because the prince usually holds you in higher regard than us, you can boss around.”
“Jiang Mang, the prince has awakened!” That simple statent from the newcor left the spearman completely stunned. Su Yunjin, who was half-suspended in the air in Jiang Mang’s grip, felt incredibly discomforted. Hearing the spearman’s na, Su Yunjin snidely thought to herself that this man really lived up to his na—Jiang Mang—indeed a brute, lacking in brain but excelling in brute force.
The newcor seed to notice Su Yunjin’s discomfort and said calmly to Jiang Mang, “Miss Su is a friend of the prince; treating her in such a manner is disrespectful. It’s best to let her down.”
Jiang Mang, still reeling from the surprise that the prince had awakened, looked down disdainfully at Su Yunjin dangling in his grasp. He was about to heed the newcor’s suggestion to let her down when his face turned wary, scrutinizing the newcor. “Are you trying to trick ? The prince was still unconscious when I left, how could he have woken up so soon?” Jiang Mang watched the newcor with hawk-like intensity. This man often took advantage of having read more and knowing more to deceive and entrap him in the prince’s presence.
Though Jiang Mang was a brute of limited wit, having suffered many hidden losses at the newcor’s hands, he had grown sowhat wiser. Thus, he suspected the man’s words were intended to deceive him.
The Imperial Physician Xiao had pronounced the prince’s injuries difficult; how could it be that simply a declaration would bring him to consciousness? Anticipating Jiang Mang’s doubts, the newcor produced a piece of jade that looked like a seal. “Jiang Mang, what do you make of this?” As soon as Jiang Mang saw the seal, his expression changed imdiately.
Su Yunjin deduced from Jiang Mang’s expression that the piece of jade must be Prince Chu’s unique authority token; otherwise, even a brute like Jiang Mang wouldn’t react as he did.
“If the prince entrusted you with this seal, it seems he truly has awakened.” Jiang Mang hurled Su Yunjin to the ground as he descended, before Su Yunjin could steady herself, she was restrained again by Jiang Mang. Gu Ya’s people also followed closely, descending from the air. Because Su Yunjin was in Jiang Mang’s hands, those assigned by Gu Ya to protect her dared not act rashly, fearing Jiang Mang might harm her.
Jiang Mang knew that since Prince Chu had intentionally sent soone to find him, there must be instructions to relay. After landing, Jiang Mang casually inquired, “Speak, what instructions did the prince give you?”
“Jiang Mang, the prince heard about you troubling Miss Su and is very upset. You’d better release her imdiately, or the prince’s wrath may be more than you can bear.”
